Lezhë Castle (Kalaja e Lezhës) is a historic hilltop fortress in northwestern Albania, with origins dating back to the 4th century BC when it served as the acropolis of the ancient Illyrian city of Lissos. Over time, it was expanded and modified by the Byzantines, Venetians, and Ottomans, resulting in a blend of architectural styles visible in its remaining towers, arches, and mosque. The castle holds great historical significance as the site of the 1444 League of Lezhë, where Albanian nobles, led by Skanderbeg, united against the Ottoman Empire. Today, it stands as a cultural monument offering sweeping views of the Drin River and the Adriatic coast, symbolizing Albania’s enduring resilience and historical legacy.
